About PawsForecast

Every summer, thousands of dogs suffer from completely preventable injuries—heatstroke and severe paw pad burns—simply because their owners relied on standard air temperature forecasts instead of analyzing ground-level conditions.

PawsForecast was built to solve this exact problem.

We are a team of passionate dog lovers and data enthusiasts dedicated to pet safety. We recognized that generic weather apps don't take into account the unique physiology of our furry friends. A 75°F day might feel perfect to a human in shorts and a t-shirt, but to a double-coated Siberian Husky walking on black asphalt in direct sunlight, it can quickly become dangerous.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to provide dog owners with hyper-localized, data-driven insights so they can confidently decide when and where it is safe to walk their dogs. By analyzing real-time weather metrics—including ambient temperature, relative humidity, direct sunlight exposure, and estimated pavement temperatures—we take the guesswork out of dog walking safety.

Transparency & Trust

We believe in full transparency. Our safety algorithms are built upon established veterinary research and the widely recommended "7-Second Rule." To keep our platform free and accessible to all dog owners worldwide, we participate in the Amazon Associates program. This means we may earn a small commission if you purchase dog safety gear (like booties or cooling vests) through the affiliate links recommended in our forecasts, at absolutely no additional cost to you.

Thank you for trusting PawsForecast to help keep your best friend safe.
